Yes! Yes! We’ve finally got some winners for ya! Emily, Fred and I put our collective heads together and have named the following entries as our grand prize winners! These winners will receive the respect of their peers, along with that juicy Level Up Studios store credit!

Halolzween Winner AU 313

Our most creative winner this year was Primevil with his amazing pumpkin rendition of Metroid Prime 3’s Aurora Unit 313! You may remember some of his previous work when he won prizes in our first year and second year contest with his impressive Metroid themed carvings! Who knows what Metroid themed thing we’ll see next year!

Halolzween Most Detailed Winner

Our most detailed winner this year was ceemdee, who for a second year swept the category with her incredibly beautiful carvings! We featured these three in particular because each judge had a favorite… Emily voted for “Bastion,” Fred voted for “Ico” and Shawn voted for “Minesweeper.” However you have to admit that all her entries were extremely well done!

Halolzween Most Humorous WInner 2011

And finally our most humorous winner this year was “Pumpkin Gaiden” by newcomer Sir Zebulon Anselm Löwe lll! His Ryu Hayabusa pumpkin literally destroyed the competition, along with most of his front yard!

Congratulations again to all our grand prize winners, and stay tuned for our next post where we will announce our eight runner-up winners!

I actually had an idea also, I was gonna paint easter eggs with slowpoke's face on them.

Unfortunetly i had neither the supplies nor the motorskills to preform such a delicate operation, I dont know if it would even be allowed as per the rules but never the less i thought it would have been hilarious.

I say do it anyway next year! I'm sure with a joke like that Shawn would let it slide.

There is always next humiliating year!

You could always make a slowpoke pumpkin now, take a photo and submit it when Christmas time comes around. Use those hands of destruction to find (read: coerce) some artistic friends!

spplmj cannot make art? WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?!

It hasn't hosted art lessons, that's for sure.

Ughh that is the last time I try and pull off something that complex (my hand is still sore).
That said glad you all liked it although it was only last night when I realized what I should have done.

You shouldn't have done that...

No, really. You definitely should not carve that into a pumpkin. I wanna be able to sleep every now and then.

Minesweeper pumpkin was my favorite. I'm glad it won something.

Not really. Have you tried playing it?
Basically, I can't even push a tile without getting my hand covered in pumpkin.

Clearly you've only been pressing the mines then. Rotten luck, really.

Rotten luck is right.
Maybe my pumpkins are a little too ripe...

Congrats guys. Those are some Epic Pumpkins.

I call hax on whoever made the Bastion submission.

I vote next year we have a "Being Primevil" category to make things be a bit more streamlined.

The link attached to Shawns' 'Yes! Yes!' was quite disappointing. No M. Bison video. D:

I see.

Very well, you do that.

for we are the champions.....

Very nice.

I want that Minesweeper.

Congrats to the winners.
I was sure that Worms might win something.
That pumpkin alone contained some pure nostalgias.

So, if i accidentaly hit a mine, will the pumpkin explode?

And thus was invented the exploding pumpkin for the TF2 halloween event.

for me the "most detailed" winners are more impressive than the grand prize one (too much tinfoil).
